Re: Making email required

You can define a single form to use for creating and updating users like this:

class CustomUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
 class Meta:
 

 model = User
 

 fields = ('email', 'password', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'photo', 'is_active', 'is_staff', 'user_permissions')
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
 

 # Override standard fields
 

 form = CustomUserChangeForm
 

 fieldsets = None
 

 add_fieldsets = (None, {
 

 'classes': ('wide',),
 

 'fields': ('email', 'password1', 'password2', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_staff'),
 
 }),

Setting fieldsets = None on the CustomUserAdmin makes it inherit the fields from your form to use when updating a user, and setting add_fieldsets to the fields you want lets you specify the fields you want to use when creating a user.

The problem you are having is that Django only recognizes a field named 'password' as a special case, and not 'password1' and 'password2', so the latter two are only to be used when you actually do need to input the unhashed password,

I want to make the email field required in the user admin add and
change pages. Following some posts I read on stackoverflow I did this:

class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyUserCreationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        # make user email field required
        self.fields['email'].required = True

class UserAdmin(BaseUserAdmin):
    form = MyUserCreationForm
    add_form = MyUserCreationForm
    add_fieldsets = ((None, {'fields': ('username', 'email',
'password1', 'password2'), 'classes': ('wide',)}),)

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)

This works fine in add user, but in change user I get the user's
encrypted password shown in the password field, instead of what you
normally see:

algorithm: pbkdf2_sha256 iterations: 24000 salt: ****** hash:
**************************************
Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see this user's
password, but you can change the password using this form.

And when I try to save from the change screen it says "Please correct
the errors below." even though there are no errors shown.

How can I fix these issues in the change form?
